Description

Good to Know

It would be a miss if visiting Mekong Delta without a stop at Cai Rang Floating Market in Can Tho City, an originally spontaneous market, which is one of the most famous and biggest floating markets in the Mekong Delta and absolutely diﬀerent from other ﬂoating markets in Thailand. From the early morning, a countless number of boats and sampans will gather here, making the whole area more lively and stunning than ever.The very first impression the tour makes on everyone is the extremely lively and crowded trading atmosphere of Cai Rang Floating Market. After that, we’ll head to Cai Be for joining a local cooking class, biking around peaceful village paths, enjoying the melody of South Vietnam folk music, and then relaxing on a rowing sampan through a mangrove palm canals to feel the real Mekong atmosphere.

Lunch meal and tropical fruits are mentioned.

Vehicles (new private AC car, private boat and rowing boat trips in Mekong Delta, * bicycle - for the biking)

Amazing day at the river delta

Leo was a fantastic guide and really gave me a unique day at the floating market and around the villages of the river delta area. I had amazing food, made some myself, fed fish from my hand, and trained frogs to jump through hoops! There were so many unique experiences and Leo made it so fun. Great sense of humor, and the other guides and driver were amazing too. Can't say enough about this great tour and guide Leo!

Our group ranged in age from 2 to 45 years old, and somehow Leo created an experience that every single member of the family genuinely enjoyed. That alone says so much about how thoughtful and well organised the tour was. What made the experience particularly special was how much we learne...read more
